Copper’s Canine Cogitations

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry40 Comments

Just pet me and love me is all I really ask
I know it’s not such a difficult task
for when you focus on my amber eyes
the love I show is no surprise
You get a big smile when you rub my tummy
‘cuz all the attention is really yummy
You’ve taught me well when it comes to heeling
but I can’t help if squirrels are so appealing
I sit, I stay and lie down on command and
can’t wait for my treat out of your loving hand
I know sometimes on our walks I’m a handful
From now on, I’ll do my best and try not to pull
Big, strong labs don’t often get mushy
but I’ll say one thing that might be gushy
If you didn’t adopt me on that special day
I don’t know how I’d feel…happy or afraid
So, my family, to you I offer my paw and
I’m very grateful you chose me to be your dog ♥

Gumption

PINK-Rose-Colored-Glasses

Life is sometimes nonsensical
If we’re not crying, we’re hysterical
trying to fit puzzle pieces together
trudging through stormy weather

Rose colored glasses don’t exist
and if they do, there must be a twist
to understanding the “todays,”
without eyes that are glazed

But I say we keep slogging
with a little bit of blogging
We’ll know when the pieces fit
and we’ll be proud of all the GRIT!

I hope you enjoyed this bit of fun and inspiration
and I always appreciate your visits, likes and comments.
Happy Thursday, too! ♥

Absentminded

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry48 Comments

Have you seen my brain?
I lost it in the rain
possibly on the train
but it could be
with the lonely sock
all colored with chalk
Maybe in the dog house
with the frantic mouse
Oh, where could it be?
This is so silly
Do you have a hint
and should we sprint
to beat the clock
or can we walk?
I think I’ll shout
without a doubt
as loud as I can
so people can hear
and help me plan
just what to do
to find my brain
I need a clue!

Contemplation

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry34 Comments

Do you ever
feel like screaming?
Your heart, mind
and soul
are filled to capacity
with frustration,
ready for explosion
You’re seeking
a solution
to your equation
but problem solving
needs consideration
and concentration
to reach fruition
What is your intention?
To lose the connection
or to move forward
with full participation
and determination?
My suggestion
is to assess
the situation
Dispose of
this emotion
Take action
by using your
Imagination
bringing this
discussion
to completion

Scrabble Soup

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry23 Comments

First you need a thought,
nothing fancy
and it can’t be bought,
then add a spoonful of emotion.
There’s no magical potion,
although, I have a notion
you could include humor.
According to rumor,
laughter’s the best medicine.
It always has been.
Yet, contrary to giggles,
start some tears flowing
with a dash of melancholy,
or if you’d rather be jolly,
Don’t be coy,
Sprinkle in some joy.
Now, to spice up your mixture
(I think you get the picture)
toss in some melody
with your favored tempo
and let your feet dance.
Feel the rhythm and
give romance a chance.
This is where you improvise
(write between the lines).
Follow your feelings.
Close your eyes,
peel off your disguise.
This is your recipe and vision.
Follow your bliss
and for a final touch,
Seal it with a kiss!

Identity

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry25 Comments

I feel like a machine
(not a mom, a wife, or a human being)
one that’s shiny and not too old
I could be silver; I could be gold
One that stands 5’7” in height
and would be useful day or night
This is just what I am
A bright, polished ATM
